Description

Four Social Misfits: An eccentric obsessed with the 80s, a tech-addicted genius, a mysterious mimic, and a scrappy loner. They live with autism. Can they live with each other? Before the weekend is over, they'll defy the rules, share secrets, and form an extraordinary alliance. It was only Orientation, but their lives will never be the same. Keegan Harris has one weekend to persuade three other autistic guys to move into his group home. Using an 80s movie as his guide for socialization, he's organized a series of adventures designed to form deep connections and create lifelong friends. But each stranger packed emotional baggage and arrived with agendas of their own. Unless Keegan can convince everyone to stick to the script, his blockbuster plan may turn companionship into chaos. When Monday morning rolls around, will they be best buddies or will Keegan's community close before it officially opens? The Insiders Club is a realistic YA novel that brings marginalized characters into the spotlight. If you like unconventional heroes, unlikely friendships, and bittersweet coming-of-age stories, then you'll love Echo Miller's uplifting read. The Insiders Club is the first novel in the Life on the Innside series. An "autism after high school" novel, appropriate for ages 16+
